The IDT 2008/09 Annual Report warmly welcomed by the community of Mavele Village
The public presentation of 2008/09 Annual Report took place on 26 October, at the state-of-the-art, Sevengwana High School, in Mavele village in the Greater Tzaneen Municipality. The 2008/09 public presentation had special significance to the IDT because the IDT publicly announced its seventh unqualified audit report done by the Auditor General on 31 March 2009. Not only that, the venue of the event was the school which was built under the IDT’s Eradication of Mud Schools Programme in partnership with the Limpopo Department of Education. The school was a R48 million project that was officially opened by the former State President, Mr. Kgalema Motlante in April 2009.

IDT connects the community of Silindini to the Thusong Service Centre and the rest of the world through a bridge
The IDT was appointed as the implementing agent for the construction of a single lane bridge over the Xuka River at Silindini Village in Engcobo local municipality in the Eastern Cape. The construction of the bridge is an intergration to the newly operationalised Thusong Service Centre built in the area which could not be accessed by the rest of the community due to a river that runs in the middle of the village. The construction process was preceded by the sod turning event attended by the Chief of the village, Lonmin Platinum Mine, the IDT (Eastern Cape regional Office) and the community. Lonmin Platinum Mine is funding the bridge project for R9 million and they also funded the construction of the Thusong Service Centre to enable the community to access developmental information and services closer to where they live.
